Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 21, 2024) – Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU) (WKN: A3EP87) (OTCQX: THSGF) (“Thesis” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that today the Company has closed its oversubscribed brokered private placement offering. Clarus Securities Inc. acted as lead agent (the “Lead Agent“) and sole bookrunner (the “Bookrunner“), on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Cormark Securities Inc., Ventum Financial Corp., H&P Advisors Ltd., and Raymond James Ltd. (collectively, the “Agents“), for an equity private placement raising gross proceeds of approximately $21 million (the “Offering“).

Under the Offering, the Company issued (i) 8,849,500 premium flow-through common shares (the “Premium FT Shares“) at a price of $1.13 per Premium FT Share; (ii) 6,702,500 flow-through common shares (the “FT Shares“, and together with the Premium FT Shares, the “Flow-Through Shares“) at a price of $0.90 per FT Share; and (iii) 6,556,318 non flow-through common shares (the “Common Shares“) at a price of $0.75 per Common Share, for total aggregate gross proceeds of $20,949,423. All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) and applicable securities laws. The Offering did not result in the creation of any new “control person” (as defined under applicable securities laws) of the Company. The securities issued under the Offering were issued pursuant to certain private placement exemptions under applicable securities laws. The private placement Offering is subject to the final acceptance by the TSXV.

In consideration of the services rendered by the Agents in connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Agents upon closing of the Offering (the “Closing“) a cash commission of $1,256,965 equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Offering (the “Agents’ Commission“). In addition, the Company also issued to the Agents on Closing, 1,326,499 non-transferable compensation options (the “Compensation Options“) to acquire a number of Common Shares equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Premium FT Shares, FT Shares and Common Shares sold under the Offering, having an exercise price of $0.95 per Common Share for 18 months following Closing.

Certain directors of the Company participated in the Offering, which constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“) and TSXV Policy 5.9 The Company is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to related parties nor the consideration for such securities exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before closing the Offering as matters relating to the related parties’ participation in the Offering were not settled until within such 21-day period and the Company wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

The gross proceeds from the sale of Premium FT Shares and FT Shares will be used by the Company to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that will qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures“) related to the Company’s projects in Canada. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Flow-Through Shares effective December 31, 2024. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund exploration and development expenditures at the Company’s Lawyers-Ranch Project in British Columbia and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

About Thesis Gold Inc.

Thesis Gold is unlocking the combined potential of the Lawyers-Ranch Gold-Silver Project in the Toodoggone mining district of north central British Columbia, Canada. A 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Lawyers project alone projected an open-pit mining operation yielding an average of 163,000 gold equivalent ounces annually over a 12-year span1. By integrating the Ranch Project, the Company aims to enhance the economics and bolster the overall project’s potential. Central to this ambition was the expansive 2023 drill program, which continues to define a high-grade out-of-pit Mineral Resource at Lawyers and augment the near-surface high-grade deposits at Ranch. The project now boasts a combined Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of 4.0 Moz and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 727 koz, at respective grades of 1.51 and 1.82 g/t AuEq2. The Company roadmap includes, new metallurgical work (now delivered), a robust 2024 exploration and drill program and a combined updated Preliminary Economic Assessment slated for Q3 2024. Through these strategic moves, Thesis Gold intends to elevate the Ranch-Lawyers Project to the forefront of global precious metals ventures.
